WE ARE AVA

St.Gallen

With multifaceted soundscapes, blunt lyrics and the velvety-soft voice of singer Kim, the newcomer trio WE ARE AVA processes their existence with all its ups, downs and insecurities into intoxicating, dream-dancing, electronic synth-pop. It's the discrepancy between catchy power songs and spherical fragility that makes the group, formed in 2018, unique. After their initial national reach with the debut EP „Feel Them Listening.“ 2019, the band followed up with their debut album „Inner Gardening" in September 2021, which landed directly in the Top 50 of the Swiss album charts with a more mature, poppy and yet disarming sound. The 34.52-minute soul trip brought the eastern Swiss recognition as „Best Crushing Newcomer“ (by 20 minutes), which was followed by a nomination for the „Swiss Music Award“ 2022 in the same category. Andy, Nicola and Kim already performed at over 80 live concerts with their captivating energy and their clear love of the stage. In summer 2022, they played on the main stages of the Quellrock Openair and Openair Lumnezia as well as on the Piazza Piccola at the Moon&Stars Festival, to name just a few. In November 2022, WE ARE AVA delivered five new, fresh pop songs in form of the EP „B-Side“, which is once again characterized by AVA's synth-heavy sound, however, also strikes new notes. The minialbum surprises with an organic, analog warmth as well as a pinch of roughness and rawness. Kim's voice seems more mature and set, her stories get more depth and honesty.
